“...VERY VERY reluctant to use their existing powers to control communicable diseases.”
We were talking about this with the kids. My wife used the example of the movie “JAWS” where they keep the beaches open. Of course in the movie it is just a single shark that once killed, everything is back to normal.
I fear that there will be no “normal” for awhile. And pray that I am wrong.
I hate to have to tell you this ... this is the new normal and the new normal began in the ‘70s. Former President Ronald Reagan was the brief rest-bit. GHWB announced it as the New World Order. I know most do not know what am typing about so no need to elaborate. Besides wouldn’t be believed anyway.
What kills me as a health care provider is that it starts with vague flu-like symptoms. Well, im here to tell you, about half of everyone from now until March or April comes into our clinics with vague flu like symptoms from here on out ... We’re at the beginning of flu season ....how will we differentiate the symptoms?
I can just see us prescribing anti viirals as we always do to all these people with who knows how many will actually not have the flu and really have the beginning presentation of Ebola?
a freaking mess with potential to just turn our entire way of life upside down ....
